If there's a transcript, read it, and use your time elsewhere.
It's a good thing this documentary doesn't have an infinite running time!
The first third/half based around mathematical infinity was ok.
But then they tried to discuss physical infinity and failed miserably.
Just turn it off after the math part, or better yet find a transcript and read it. There won't be that many words on it.
If they were trying to be enlightening, they failed.
This is a jumble of facts and half-points bathing in an 1 hr 19 min of artistic visuals, decent mood music, and chopped up interviews with mathematicians and scientists who get paid whether they accomplished anything or not.
If you're confused after watching the 2nd half of it, that is completely expected, since there is no coherent objective to the entire 2nd half except to fill the running time with something.
